<strong>Our</strong> <strong>brand</strong>


<strong>Our</strong> <strong>brand</strong><br />

A strong <strong>brand</strong> is one of the most valuable<br />

assets an organisation owns. To make it truly<br />

powerful it needs to be applied consistently<br />

so anyone dealing with the <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong><br />

we stand for. Everyone has a part to play in<br />

doing this and bringing our <strong>brand</strong> to life.<br />

6 <strong>Our</strong> <strong>brand</strong><br />

20 Master<strong>brand</strong> logo – Exclusion zone<br />

& minimum size<br />

The master<strong>brand</strong> logo should always have<br />

breathing space. This can be determined by the<br />

width of the ‘e’.<br />

The minimum recommended size for the<br />

master<strong>brand</strong> logo is 30mm wide (150 pixels<br />

online). In exceptional circumstances when it has<br />

to be used below this size please remove the ‘<strong>Royal</strong><br />

<strong>Botanic</strong> gardens’ wording. It should never be used<br />

below 10mm wide (75 pixels online).<br />

22 Master<strong>brand</strong> logo – Recommended size for<br />

items where <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> cannot sit<br />

under the main logo, e.g. Book spine / pencils<br />

In these circumstances it can be placed as shown here.<br />

10mm spine<br />

Logo width: 7mm


23 Master<strong>brand</strong> logo – Positions on the page<br />

The logo works most effectively if the K in <strong>Kew</strong> is<br />

left aligned, we also want it to be in a prominent<br />

position so top left is the preferred position.<br />

In exceptional circumstances it can be positioned<br />

elsewhere. The master<strong>brand</strong> logos (right) are<br />

numbered 1 to 4 in order of preference.<br />

The logo should not be centred.<br />

1 4<br />

2 3


24 Master<strong>brand</strong> logo – Relationship<br />

to the <strong>Royal</strong> Crest<br />

The <strong>Royal</strong> Crest should not be used as a logo<br />

or replace our main logo but can be used as an<br />

endorsing mark where appropriate.<br />

Appropriate circumstances would include where<br />

the royal connection adds significant weight or<br />

impact. Examples could include formal invitations,<br />

scientific publications or overseas publishing.<br />

It should always be physically separated from the<br />

master<strong>brand</strong> logo in order to prevent confusion.<br />

It should be positioned as an endorsement rather<br />

than another logo.<br />

Ideally, it should appear on a different page<br />

or at a minimum underneath the main logo.


25 Master<strong>brand</strong> logo – Relationship to the<br />

<strong>Royal</strong> Crest<br />

When using the <strong>Royal</strong> Crest with the master<strong>brand</strong><br />

logo, the <strong>Royal</strong> Crest size is determined by the<br />

height of<br />

the letter ‘K’ and <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> lettering.<br />

The exclusion zone can be determined by the<br />

size of the <strong>Royal</strong> Crest when they are being used<br />

together.<br />

The minimum size is 20mm wide and it can only be<br />

used in <strong>Kew</strong> dark green, black or white.<br />

45mm<br />

20mm<br />

the <strong>Royal</strong> crest can either be positioned:<br />

bottom left corner, in which case it should<br />

be left aligned with the master<strong>brand</strong> logo;<br />

or it can be positioned in the bottom right<br />

hand corner (as shown in the example on<br />

the right). it should never be positioned<br />

alongside the master<strong>brand</strong> logo. the<br />

examples above show the minimum<br />

amount of space permitted between the<br />

master<strong>brand</strong> logo and the <strong>Royal</strong> crest.


26 Master<strong>brand</strong> logo –<br />

Relationship to the <strong>Royal</strong> Crest<br />

For certain corporate uses (e.g. formal invitations,<br />

business cards etc) it can used on the same side but<br />

the Master<strong>brand</strong> logo should still lead, so the Crest<br />

should be positoned bottom left or right.<br />

Typography

<strong>Our</strong> <strong>brand</strong> typeface is Frutiger.<br />

Frutiger should be used for all<br />

applications, except for typing letters,<br />

powerpoint, internal documents, or<br />

online HTML text. In these cases, use<br />

Arial as the default font.<br />

Keep typography simple. Do not<br />

overcrowd layouts and do not use too<br />

many type sizes. Use weight to draw<br />

emphasis instead.

and keeps different images and type<br />

styles to a minimum.


Environmental care<br />

When considering your design brief<br />

please also consider sustainability issues<br />

and take into account the following:<br />

All printed material should be produced<br />

using environmentally friendly methods<br />

as much as possible. We aim to use<br />

recycled and where possible, uncoated<br />

paper, and work with print companies<br />

who have suitable environmental<br />

accreditation. Designs should be<br />

created specifically to look good on<br />

recycled, uncoated paper, while print<br />

runs and locality of print companies<br />

should also be considered to reduce the<br />

carbon foot print.<br />

Please follow these recommendations:<br />

Paper should to be as close to 100%<br />

recycled as possible ·<br />

The minimum requirement should<br />

be not less than 50% recycled and<br />

50% from managed forests and<br />

FSC accredited<br />

Print companies should use some<br />

or all of these processes:<br />

Computer-to-plate origination<br />

Waterless press capacity<br />

Alcohol-free printing process<br />

Inks should be vegetable based<br />

Where possible the finish should<br />

be uncoated<br />

Print companies should have<br />

accreditation in one or more or the<br />

following and locally based printers<br />

are preferable:·<br />

FSC, Carbon neutral status<br />

ISO 14001<br />

EMAS (European Ecomanagement<br />

& Audit Scheme)<br />

WPA (Waterless Printing Association)<br />

such<br />

Upon those<br />

That on<br />

boughs which shake<br />

the ashes<br />

against the cold,<br />

of his youth<br />

Bare runied choirs,<br />

where late the<br />

As the death-bed,<br />

whereon it<br />

sweet birds sang.<br />

In me thou see'st the<br />

Consum'd with<br />

twilight of such a day<br />

As after sunset<br />

fadeth in the west;<br />

that which it was<br />

nourish'd by.<br />

This thou<br />

Which by and by<br />

black night doth take away,<br />

Death's second self,<br />

To love that well, which thou<br />
